I think he means create an applescript in Script Editor or Automator, and select "Application" in script editor's save-as dialogue. This way you just need to launch the applescript application, and then do [NSApp terminate]. I haven't done any AppleScript programming for about 10 years... but this seemed to work fine with some testing, regardless of whether or not my app was running: > tell application "Finder" > set appAlias to item "Sequel Pro.app" of (path to applications folder) > move appAlias to trash > end tell Note that because the file is being moved to the trash by Finder, the dock icon is properly updated, the standard "moved to trash" sound is played, the user can use finder's "edit -> undo" feature to move it back to the applications folder, and if admin privileges are required — Finder will handle that for you. - Abhi_______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
